New Registration Module

Using this module School Districts can setup forms that can filled online by the parents of new or Existing Students. This module was developed to accommodate a contact-less and safe environment adopted by schools throughout the world.

·         For New Students, a link on main login screen will give them direct access to the configured forms.

·         For Existing students, the forms will pop up automatically on parent login.

·         Entries to these forms goes into a separate database table which can be moved to the main system after appropriate verification.

·         The forms can track any Student and Guardian demographic information.

·         In addition to the fillable forms, Districts can also post any additional forms and messages that can be viewed/downloaded by parents.

·         Web-Links provide options for parents to upload necessary documents required by the registration forms onto the cloud for safe access.

o    Manual sync and retrieval of Assignments and Grades from Google Classrooms for a Course initiated by the Teacher

o    Automate the sync of Courses, Rosters and Assignments to and from Google Classrooms for all courses
